Frogs are amphibians known for their dual life on land and in water. They begin as aquatic tadpoles, breathing through gills, and transform into air-breathing adults with lungs and limbs. Frogs have smooth, moist skin that aids in water absorption and breathing, especially when they’re submerged. Their long, powerful hind legs make them excellent jumpers, and many species are skilled swimmers. Frogs are also highly sensitive to environmental changes, which makes them important indicators of ecosystem health. Their diverse colors and calls are often used for communication and camouflage, and some even have toxic skin to deter predators.
